[quote=a12rag]Wow . . . so many comments, yet not ONE, about C Bodies !!! . . . yes, there is big following (pun intended) for the full size mopars !!! But if you need sheet metal, you are left looking for best of the worst out there . . . But the C body group, is most possibly the "thrift-iest" of the mopar crowd !!!

I have had C body cars for years, well before my A body, and now B body . . . was AMAZED at how much was available for my 70 Sport Satellite when I decided to go ahead with that car. Especially coming from my C body experience . . .

As all have said, it comes down to the economics . . . good luck with your projects !!

Cheers

Back in 1986, before ANYTHING was being made for any type of Mopars...I had a '69 300 convertible, michigan car, one of only 1,920 built. The rear quarters were completely rotted out.. inners and outers, both sides. I got lucky when doing research on Arizona junkyards(remember no internet in 1986!) when I came across a place called, "Mr. Good Parts" outside Phoenix I believe? (anyone remember them?) Anyway, he had a 2 door hardtop 300 that he cut the whole 1/4's w/trunk extentions, off the donor, and shipped them to my bodyshop guy. People trying to restore cars like mine (C body's) are still having to resort to this...Yes I know these type of cars aren't as
desirable as a Road Runner or Challenger/Cuda, but I would have thought in the thirty years since I restored that 300, there would be more from the aftermarket by now...I was wrong, oh well, I still like big C bodies just as much as an A/B/E body. twocents

67-69 Barracuda fenders have a lot of production and they are specialty 2-door only cars. So there aren't used donor 4-door fenders feeding the used supply.

1967... 62,534
1968... 46,018
1969... 31,987

That's a little over 140,000 Barracudas. ALL two door models.

Correct floorboards for the 1957-1961 Forward Look Cars

Those cars are known for rusted out floors even ones that spent entire life in a dry climate

Earlier comment in this thread referred to a large write-in campaign to help AMD (Goodmark, etc.) rationalize the need for investment in whatever part is yet needed or wanted.
I get that, but there was never a large write in campaign to rationalize the start-up of AMD and the creation of what they currently offer. So, why did they chose what they did? They did the analysis themselves, or wanted what someone wanted.
Frankly, some of the items they offer seem peculiar to me as original items can be found, and I live in the rust belt!!

It seems to me, that once a run of even more popular items has been made and sold, they may not re-run what they offered in the past.
Not sure what their minimum-buy is from the factory, but if they had a hard time selling off the last 50, why would you buy another 500? That doesn't make business sense.
Time to start hording aftermarket parts!!

69 Coronet Fenders. They are a must. I bought this NOS set for $2500 and thought I stole them!

Bring back the Cuda Rubber Bumpers. "Maybe in retooling"
If so change them to 71 and we can trim them for 70's if needed.
--Also full Cuda doors so I can throw away the junk thirty doors taking up space in my parts room!!


Wish list for a part that will never happen...
Cuda Ragtop header panel for top frame. Hey better yet how about the whole top frame! Wish big!
